[sane-devel] SANE compile problem on Solaris

SANE Developers,

I wish to use SANE on my Solaris 8 X86 server to allow for scanner assess to a network IP scanner device.  I have downloaded version 1.0.20 but cannot get it to build.

Here is what I have done......

First set env as follows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include"
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/sfw/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CFLAGS CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS

Next run config as follows:
./configure --prefix=/opt/sane --disable-fork-process

Finally run make.  The compile fails on not finding getopt.c.  Here is the failure:
(cd .libs && rm -f liblib.la && ln -s ../liblib.la liblib.la)
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include/sane -I/usr/local/include -I. -I../include -I../include -I/usr/sfw/include -D_REENTRANT -DPATH_SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/sane/etc/sane.d     -DPATH_SANE_DATA_DIR=/opt/sane/share    -DPATH_SANE_LOCK_DIR=/opt/sane/var/lock/sane      -DV_MAJOR=1 -DV_MINOR=0  -I/usr/sfw/include -W -Wall -MT getopt.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/getopt.Tpo -c -o getopt.lo getopt.c

Can SANE work on Solaris 9 X86?  From what I have researched, I must use Solaris 10 to get USB lib support, however, I will not be using USB scanners - I wish to use remote network scanners via IP accessed via a servlet.

Any assistance and recommendations would be appreciated.
